Good-bye, Neigh-bors (An Abrupt Alteration)

My personal life has gone through a significant change within the past week: I am no longer living in Sablé-sur-Sarthe.

I have said good-bye to this:

The Neigh-bors had a kid

And openly greeted the Plantagenêt Cité in Le Mans on Friday July 4th. The decision to move was coordinated on Wednesday July 2nd. Le Mans may only be 40 kilometers away from Sablé, but it is worlds apart.

After two years of being surrounded by cornfields and horses, I had forgotten how noisy bustling cities can be. While I do find myself at times missing the peace and quiet of the countryside, the adjustment to having an efficient, reliable public transportation system with frequent buses and trams and to seeing people my own age makes the transition much smoother.

Plus, seeing this store whenever I walk home never fails to coax a smile across my lips.

To Expand, or Not to Expand, That is the Question

As my last blog post mentioned, I have been testing out another blogging site. French and I have been trying to figure out if we should move this blog to the other site, or just use it to expand what we already have.

Do not get me wrong, we love blogger, but we also love what tumblr has to offer. It has been a very difficult choice, especially since we already have everything set up here, but tumblr seems to offer a bit more to our blogging needs.

So since we cannot decide if we should move or make a "Two Beans or Not Two Beans Part II blog", we have decided to ask you, our loyal readers, as to what you think we should do?

Should we move or expand?
